Reports: Kate Gosselin ‘impossible,’ wants Dancing with the Stars partner canned

Imagine this, Kate Gosselin is being a prima donna behind the scene of “Dancing with the Stars.”

DWTS execs apparently didn’t see Kate’s other show otherwise they’d know that’s how Kate G. rolls.

According to Pop Eater’s Rob Shuter, former “Jon and Kate Plus 8” star wants Tony Dovolani fired and is causing all sorts of drama behind the scenes.

“Everyone involved in the show thinks Kate is impossible. We all feel very sorry that poor Tony got paired up with her. She talks to him as if he is her ninth child,” sources reportedly told Shuter. “At one point things got so bad that Kate demanded that the shows producers fire Tony and get her a new partner. However, everyone would rather get rid of her than Tony, who is loved by all the staff.”

That said Dovolani told Entertainment Tonight that he regrets telling Gosselin he quit during a fight aired as part of Monday’s show.

“I don’t like speaking when I’m upset because I don’t ever want to bring back words that I don’t mean and ‘I quit’ I guess was one of them,” Dovolani said according to ET.

Poor Tony! Doesn’t seem to be enough glitter in the world to make Kate a nice person.

In a message the Associated Press says was confirmed by Martin’s reps and written in both Spanish and English, Martin said: “I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.”

The message no longer appears to be on Martin’s officia lhome page, but everyone from TMZ to Rolling Stone is reporting on the how the Puerto Rican is now open about how he is “Livin’ La Vida Loca.”

Martin, who got his start in the teen singing group Menudo, has long denied rumors that he is gay.

According to TMZ, he says the birth of his children lead him to come clean.

“To keep living as I did up until today would be to indirectly diminish the glow that my kids where [sic] born with.”

Reports: Sandra Bullock and Jesse James heading for divorce

Looks like Sandra Bullock next role will be divorcee.

The celebrity gossip site PopEater says the Oscar-winning actress is preparing a divorce from hubby Jesse James, an alleged philander.

According to Rob Shuter, Bullock has left Texas and is now back in California figuring out how to finish things with the West Coast West Chopper owner.

It seems she has reason to run. While Sandy brought home the bacon, James allegedly had mad sexcades with a Hitler-loving tattoo model and three others.

According to Radar Online, Bullock is now back living in a house she owned before her marriage to James.

What do you think? Would you file for divorce if you were in Sandra Bullock’s place?

Could Justin Bieber’s lady love be a ‘Kardashian’

Kim Kardashian thinks she has the ‘katch’ for teen heartthrob Justin Bieber: her 14-year-old kid sister Kendall Jenner.

On her blog today, Kardashian agreed with MTV that Kendall would make a good ‘lady love’ for the 16-year-old singer.

“I think I found a boyfriend for Kendall! Well, MTV did, LOL. MTV chose their top five girls who they think would make good girlfriends for Justin Bieber and Kendall was one of them. I’m all for it… I think he is just the cutest thing. He seems like a really driven and focused kid, just like Kendall, and they would make an adorable couple… although isn’t he kind of short? Kendall might tower over him since she’s taller than all of us! But what do you say, Kendall… should we make this happen!? haha.,” Kardashian’s post says.

MTV’s other picks for Bieber are a fan or kid actresses Chloe Moretz, Miranda Cosgrove or Abigail Breslin.

House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-West Chester Twp, probably never thought he’d be in a music video with actress Scarlett Johansson, but that’s sort of what has happened.

Betty White wants to kick Jesse James’ (expletive)

When times get tough, a friendly word (or fist) can really help.

“Golden Girl” Betty White had nothing but nice things to say about Sandra Bullock, her co-star in “The Proposal,” during an Entertainment Tonight interview.

What she has to say about Bullock’s cheating dog husband is not so nice.

According to the New York Daily News,, she can’t say the “Monster Garage” star’s name without swearing.

“Betty wants to kick Jesse James’ a—,” a source told the Daily News. “Betty is furious and just cannot understand why he would be so stupid.

“He had everything. A beautiful, talented wife who adored him, an amazing daughter that Sandra treats as her own, and he has thrown it all away for some floozy.”

White kept it cool during her Entertainment Tonight interview.

“I think that’s Sandy’s business, that’s not mine,” White said. “I love her with all my heart. “That’s one of the greatest human beings on the planet.”

White said that the less people have to say about Jesse James’ alleged cheating ways the better.

“We’re all deeply, deeply saddened. At such a high-point in her life, it’s tough,” she said.

James allegedly had an 11 month affair with a tattoo model. News of his relationship with Michelle “Bombshell” McGee came just after Bullock won her first Oscar for “The Blind Side.”

Octomom offered new porn deal to save house

Vivid Entertainment thinks it can help Octomom out of her financial troubles by helping her out of her clothes.

For the third time, the porno giant has offered the mom of 14 a contract to appear in adult movies, according to E’ Online.

They are betting Nadya Suleman is desperate enough to bite because she’s about to be booted from her house.

Her mortgage holder has reportedly started foreclosure proceedings on the $565,000 Southern California house, according to the Associated Press.

Suleman’s family allegedly has been late on its mortgage payments and didn’t pay a $450,000 balloon payment due earlier this month.

In rides the porno company like a champion on a, er, white horse:

“We remain interested in working with Nadya, and we’re prepared to make a new offer that would secure her living arrangements by having her home fully paid for,” Vivid founder and co-chair Steven Hirsch said according to E. “We have sent Nadya a letter offering to sit down and work out details that would be most comfortable for her.

“We understand that time is of the essence because, according to reports, she has until Tuesday to meet her mortgage obligations to the former owner of the house. We can act quickly to meet with her and her representatives to secure her home and to work with her on a movie that she can be proud of.”

Jesse James’ alleged mistress posed for Nazi photos

A tattoo on the forehead that reads “Pray for Us Sinners” isn’t the most shocking thing about the woman who says she slept with Oscar winner Sandra Bullock’s man.

Oooooh no! Michelle “Bombshell” McGee won’t be helping any minority youth get football scholarships a la Sandra B. in “The Blind Side.”

If reports are true, it seems Michelle “Bombshell” McGee doesn’t mind hailing Hitler.

TMZ has obtained what it claims are photos of the tattoo model taken during a Nazi-themed photo session. McGee wears a swastika armband.

Some of the images are cartoonish to say the least. In the one that looks the most authentic, McGee, poses proudly with an assault riffle and the armband.

Her ex husband claims in court documents that she”makes the Nazi salute,” and has a swastika tat on her stomach, TMZ reports.

In Touch magazine early this week posted an exclusive interview in which McGee claims she had an affair with Sandra Bullock’s husband, “Monster Garage” host Jesse James.

In an statement to People magazine, James apologized to his wife and children for his poor judgment, but said the vast majority of allegation are “untrue and unfounded.”

Really Jesse James, Really?

Is Sandra Bullock’s man cheating?

In Touch magazine posted an exclusive interview on their web site today, March 17, in which a tattoo model named Michelle “Bombshell” McGee claims she had an 11-month affair with Sandra Bullock’s husband, “Monster Garage” host Jesse James.

Vanity_Fair_Oscar_Party_CAJ.jpg
Sandra Bullock and Jesse James arrive at the Vanity Fair Oscar party on Sunday, March 7, 2010, in West Hollywood, Calif.

McGee tells the magazine that the affair began while Bullock was in Atlanta filming “The Blind Side”, for which she just won a best actress Oscar.

The model says she was under the impression that the couple was separated at the time. “I would never have hooked up with him if I thought he was a married man,” she said in the In Touch interview.

The magazine also quotes McGee as saying when she asked about Bullock, James told her, “She doesn’t live here. She has a house in Austin. She is filming, and I can’t talk about it.”

So what’s the deal? Is this model just out for attention, or is another Hollywood couple going the way of Kate Winslet and director/husband Sam Mendes, who announced March 15 that they are splitting.

It’s official, Tiger Woods says he’ll return for the Masters

Tiger Woods will take his drivers, irons and putters to the Masters next week, according to the Chicago Tribune.

“The Masters is where I won my first major and I view this tournament with great respect. After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I’m ready to start my season at Augusta,” Woods said in a statement published by the Tribune.

There has been a wide range of speculation as to when the disgraced golfer would return to the sport that made him rich.

The Masters star April 8.

Woods apologized last month for a stream of affairs that threatened to destroy his career and marriage.

John Edwards mistress: ‘I know he loves me’

Rielle Hunter actually thinks John Edwards loves her.

The homewreckers of sorts throws the word ‘love’ around buckets in a rather flowery article just published by GQ magazine.

In the interview, the first Hunter has given about her affair with the now disgraced politician, Hunter details how she slept with Edwards after meeting him on a street corner in 2006. They first spotted each other in the New York’s Regency Hotel, GQ says.

Edwards_Hunter_NY109.JPG

Well, what Johnny later told me was, he went to dinner and could not stop thinking about me, like, ‘Who was that woman, and why didn’t I go over and talk to her?’ Because it was the oddest connection he had ever felt. And so, when he was coming back to the Regency, he looked in the window at the Library, which you can see from the street, and I was gone.

And he was so disappointed. Kicking himself. So when he walked around the corner and saw me standing there, he lit up like a Christmas tree. And I thought his reaction when he saw me was just so cute. I mean, he looked like a little kid at Christmas.

And I just uttered to him, ‘You’re so hot.’ And he said, ‘Why, thank you!’ And he almost jumped into my arms. Literally. And um, that’s how we met. On the corner of 61st and Park Avenue.

That said, Hunter confessed how painful it was when Edwards professed his love for of all people, his wife.

Interviewer: “Did he call you after the interview?”

Hunter: “Yes. And I said, ‘Ouch, that hurt.’ And he said, ‘I’m sorry.’ And ‘It doesn’t mean anything.’ And it didn’t. I know he loves me. I have never had any doubt at all about that. We love each other very much. And that hasn’t changed, and I believe that will be till death do us part. The love doesn’t go away. It’s unconditional. It’s unconditional on my part, but our connection is profound. There’s a lot of passion there.

The article includes a tummy revealing photo of Hunter laying in a bed with Quinn, the child Edwards fathered and until recently denied.

Here are some other low-lights from GQ’s interview:

Interviewer: “I would imagine you could have sold out a hundred times.”

Hunter: ” I could have cashed out big. But that’s not what I’m about. I love Johnny and I love my daughter more than anything in the world, and I don’t want to ever do anything to hurt them or hurt their relationship. “

Interviewer: Because he doesn’t have to worry about the repercussions?

Hunter: He’s not afraid of me. He’ll tell me anything and everything. Even disclosing to me when women hit on him, and everything that was said, and if he flirted. He has no fear that I’m going to abuse him. And I believe what happened in his marriage is, he could not go to his wife and say, “We have an issue.” Because he would be pummeled. So he had a huge fear. Most of his mistakes or errors in judgment were because of his fear of the wrath of Elizabeth. He’s allowed himself to be pushed into a lot of things that he wouldn’t normally do because of Elizabeth’s story line. And the spin that she wants to put out there. He was emasculated. And you know, the wrath of Elizabeth is a mighty wrath.

Interviewer: “Okay, so I know this might be a chick question, but did you know that very first night that you were something special to him?”

Hunter: I did know, yes. I did know the first night. We had an extraordinary night, and I did know that this was unlike anything either of us had ever experienced. And as we have all learned, that was accurate! [laughs] He in fact did say to me the first night, “Falling in love with you could really f$%$ up my plans for becoming President.’ And of course I said, “If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.”

“Their daughter has done the right thing and reported this matter to the police,” a statement from the lawyers reportedly says. “She has been, and will be, available to the authorities to assist them in the criminal investigation.

The 20-year-old Georgia College student told police Roethlisberger, a Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback from Findlay, assaulted her early Friday, according to the Associated Press.

Roethlisberger has not been charged and denies allegations.

Howard Stern compares Gabourey Sidibe’s weight to suicide

Days after calling sweet as a cherry pie Oscar nominee Gabourey Sidibe ‘the most enormous, fat black chick’ he’s ever seen, Howard Stern and his co-host Robin Quivers continued to verbally push the fat kid around the school yard.

On his show Wednesday, March 10, Stern responded to critics of his early statements and compared Sidibe’s obesity to the recent suicide attempt of one of the show’s co-hosts, according to Examiner.com.

“Like, I kind of don’t see a difference between what our Artie did-Artie tried to kill himself. And I feel this girl, in a slower way…she’s gonna kill herself,” Stern reportedly said.

Earlier this week, Stern and Quivers went on and on about how “Precious” would be Sidibe’s only movie because she is too fat ( actually too fat and too black) for Hollywood and its absurd to think she has a shot at a career in the movies.

“Everyone’s pretending she’s a part of show business and she’s never going to be in another movie,” Stern said. “She should have gotten the Best Actress award because she’s never going to have another shot. What movie is she gonna be in?”

Quivers was even tougher, calling Sidibe sick and criticizing Oprah for encouraging Sidibe to continue acting.

“Look in that room, who else do you look like,” Quivers said. “Those are the people who work all of the time.”

Sidibe has already proven the bullying duo wrong.

She’s landed a role in the Showtime series ‘The C Word’ and will star in the movie ‘Yelling to the Sky’ with and her next big-screen appearance will be opposite Zoe Kravitz in the drama

But Quivers and Stern do make a point, most of Hollywood’s actresses are a buck 10. Still there are plenty of plump actors.

Lindsay Lohan sues E*Trade’s ‘milkaholic” baby

It seems Li-Lo doesn’t want to be made fun of by a computer enhanced baby.

Actress Lindsay Lohan has filed a lawsuit against E*Trade Financial Corp for $100 million, claiming the company’s “milkaholic” baby girl ripped off her likeness, according to the New York Post.

“Lindsay,” the milkaholic in the commercial , pops into a conversation between a baby couple after the girl baby implied that ‘milkaholic Lindsay’ may have been the reason the boy baby didn’t call her the night before.

“Milk-a-what,” the baby Lindsay says.

Lohan, who has famously had issues with the bottle, claims E*Trade violated her right of privacy by using her “likeness, name, characterization, and personality” without permission, according to Reuters.

There are a lot of Lindays in the world, but Lohan’s attoney told the Post that his client has the same single-name recognition as Oprah or Madonna.

Really? Wow.

Seems Lohan might be being overly sensitive this time, but what do you think?

“Blah Blah Blah” singer talks smack about lip-syncing Britney Spears

Ke$ha thinks Britney Spears should actually sing on stage.

The Tik Tok singer recently called Spears out for lip-syncing on her world tour.

“I think that’s bulls*, the 23-year-old whispered during an interview with the Scotland’s Daily Record.

Ke$ha knows a little about Spears’ ability. She sang background on Spear’s 2008 song “Lace and Leather.”

Clive_Davis_Pre-GRAMMY_Part.JPG
Ke$ha at the annual Pre-GRAMMY Gala (AP Photo/Vince Bucc

And the “Blah Blah Blah” singer didn’t stop there. There was more blah blah blah.

I don’t think that’s fair at all for people who are going to see the show. I think if you are going to be a singer, you should sing. If you are going to be a dancer, you should dance.

“If you are going to do a combination of the two, you should make it very clear when you are singing and very clear when you are dancing. I would never do that to my fans.

“No offense to her specifically but people have asked me before to mime. I have been up at three in the morning for a television show with jet lag but I refuse to mime.

“It’s treating people as if they are too stupid to realize you are not actually singing. Sometimes it is hard to sing and dance at the same time but I would rather be off and be real and genuine about it to my fans. I don’t want to treat my fans like they are stupid.

“That is my take on my fans and life in general. My whole record is super-honest. I am really honest. When I am singing I may sound s*** sometimes but at least you’ll know I’m singing.”

Last year about a 100 ticked off fans stormed out of a Britney Spears show in Australia disappointed in her lip syncing.

Is Ke$ha right. Has lip syncing gone overboard?

Woman claims threesome with Charlie Sheen and wife

Things just keep getting freakier for Charlie Sheen and his newest wife Brooke Mueller.

The celebrity gossip site Radar Online says a woman is ready to spill the beans about her supposed threesome with Sheen and Mueller.

We’ve also learned that the woman is single, not a prostitute and is shopping her story to the highest bidder. One source told RadarOnline.com that she has already had an offer of $40,000 to tell her story, Radar says.

The website claims the woman is not the only third to enter the “Two and a Half Men” star’s bed.

Sheen’s life has been in a public train wreck in recent months.

His publicist announced last week that Sheen, who is awaiting trial on domestic violence related charges, had entered rehab. Mueller, the alleged victim of her husband’s violent temper, is in rehab at her home.

Mueller told police Sheen pinned her on a bed, put a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her in a Christmas Day fight.

Sheen has been charged with felony menacing and misdemeanor charges of third-degree assault and criminal mischief.

Reports of Betty White’s death stirs up the Internet

Chuck it up to a golden lie.

False reports of “Golden Girl” Betty White death sent the Internet into a tizzy Tuesday and early Wednesday.

The rumor was traced back to a fake TMZ screen shot posted on the blog OH NO THEY DIDN’T, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Here’s what the Cutting Room Floor blog had to say about the fraud:

The article was clearly fake, as it mentioned possibilities of foul play and drug abuse, and grandchildren that Betty White does not have. But anyone who wanted to do any further investigating at the “source” as lead to the TMZ homepage which did not feature said article.

Besides, Betty White is like and uneaten Twinkie, she’ll be around forever.

Jacksons deny reports Blanket was threatened with gun

Oh, for the zap of Jafar Jackson.

A lawyer for Katherine Jackson has denied reports that the King of Pop’s sons were threatened by a stun gun their cousin totted.

“Blanket Jackson never saw or heard the Taser,” attorney Adam Streisand said according to the Associated Press. “Neither did Paris Jackson. Prince saw the Taser in possession of security.”

Child services workers are investigating the matter.

Streisand said Jafar Jackson, Jermaine Jackson’s 13-year-old son, order the weapon online and had it shipped to his family’s estate in LA.

“Jafar opened the package in his bathroom and tested it on a piece of paper,” Streisand said in a statement.

The gun was confiscated after Katerine Jackson and security heard it being used.

TMZ initially reported Jafar and other Jackson family children were playing with the gun and pointing it at Michael Jackson’s sons Blanket and Prince.

Boys will be boys, but jeez, ordering weapons on the Internet is a little much.

Kate Gosselin: ‘plus eight’ will come before “Dancing with the Stars”

Sorry folks, Kate Gosselin’s 15 minutes are far from up.

The newly divorced mom to eight is among the recently announced crop of celebrities for the upcoming season of “Dancing with the Stars.”

On her “Good Morning America” appearance today, Tuesday, March 2, Gosselin said the show won’t be her top priority.

“I have eight kids, and I’m a mom and I have a very full schedule anyway,” the former “Jon and Kate Plus Eight” star said. “Obviously, the kids come first. It’s going to be hard. I’m determined to do it.”

Gosselin, a self-admitted bad dancer, said she’s going to try her best, practicing in a basement studio while her plus eight are at school.

“I am determined to do it,” she said.

Internet speculation had her and co-star Pamela Anderson as picks last week.

Few saw the Bengals’ Chad Ochocinco coming or Wright State grad Nicole Scherzinger, lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls, coming.

Gosselin isn’t the only reality star to make the cut. Jake Pavelka, the latest “Bachelor,” also made the show.

Marie Osmond’s son reportedly sent text about suicide note

The website claims 18-year-old Michael Blosil left a suicide note for a woman who lived in his apartment building.

Blosil was to spend time with the woman the night he died. Instead, he sent her a text message saying he left the note in his apartment for her, TMZ says.

Blosil, one of Marie Osmond’s five adopted children, reportedly said he was very unhappy and that the woman was his only good friend in LA.

Osmond also has three children from two marriages.

Scumbag ‘Bachelor’ gets hitched - Is it true love?

Molly Malaney married Jason Mesnick of “The Bachelor” in a $45,000 gown Saturday, Feb. 27, according to People.com

You had reason to wonder if it would actually happen.

The couple’s relationship hasn’t been without its rocks.

You’ll remember that Mesnick at first selected Melissa Rycroft as his lady love only to rudely dump her for Malaney during a reunion show.

The cameras have continued to run for Molly and Jason.

Mesnick reality star-studded marriage ( Trista and Ryan Sutter and others from the Bachelor and Bachelorette franchises were there) to Rycroft will be televised on Monday, March 8 during a ABC special called “The Bachelor: Jason and Molly’s Wedding.”

’Coincidentally,’ current Bachelor Jake Pavelka will select a true love from either Vienna and Tenley tonight.

What do you think? Do you believe these televised romances are true?

If Flavor Flav couldn’t make it work with any of the “Flavor of Love” girls how can Jason and Molly?
